your best bet for the SOHC is to probably custom make one yourself. that's my next project.

you can have a muffler shop make you an intake pipe, you can buy the pipe and make it yourself, or you could try an intake from a different car, and modify it to fit your car. i believe 2.5" diameter piping is what is recommended.

If i made one myself(which doesnt sound very hard), I would still want to powder coat it a certain color. How would i do this?

you can click here to check out a custom intake how-to. as far as powdercoating, check in the phone book under powdercoating, and it'll probably tell you to see coatings-protective section. you can also paint it with some high temp engine paint which should look good as well.

it's been recommended to leave the resonator box on. if you're talking about the intake tube from the res box to the throttle body, just remove the clamps. if not, please explain in more detail what part you're talking about.

edit: ok, i was just checking out my stock setup, and i now realize what tube you're talking about. i'm not exactly sure what it's function is, yet like i said earlier, it's been recommended to leave the resonator box on.
